I
was out of the country when the 12th Toycon Philippines 2013 ingress started,
thanks to my sis and fellow Toycon organizers for uploading the photos of the
ingress session. I was at the hotel in Hong Kong trying to finalize the media
list and also guest for the event, I got no laptop on hand and I just rely on
using my iPhone 4s in doing the job, and thanks again to my sis for helping me
compile all the guest names and sent it to Kath of Anime Alliance Philippines.
Day zero occurred last June 13, 2013.

The day zero tradition continues
and its still considered as Toycon event, because many people tried to go here
to take a peak and also check out the booth set up. Our exhibitors are there to
set up their merchandising booths, sponsors and partners are busy rising up
their own gimmicks and also the toy groups are also busy finalizing the last
detail of their toy exhibit. The event will be opened the next day and it’s the
retailer’s day and toy market for day 1. An exclusive day for all buyers and
sellers to have an event for just one day minus the attractions, side shows and
stage events.

I’m posting this to documented everything.even if I’m away
that time.

check out some pics below from day zero.
